Dear Beloved Brethren;
Your kind and much appriciated
letter of ^the^ 3rd of April came duly to
hand, and was read with deep
interest, and I now fear that I
was not considerate enough of
your many labors, expecting
an answer to mine in so short
a time, if so, it was from the
great desire I had to hear from
you before our conference, and
often in our anxiety we do not
carefully weigh the surroundings
as we should before we Jump at
conclusions. Therefore I beg to be
excused, and hope to exercise more
patience in the future.
